RHEL 2.1 : tripwire (RHSA-2004:244)

Updated Tripwire packages that fix a format string security
vulnerability are now available.

Tripwire is a system integrity assessment tool.

Paul Herman discovered a format string vulnerability in Tripwire
version 2.3.1 and earlier. If Tripwire is configured to send reports
via email, a local user could gain privileges by creating a carefully
crafted file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0536 to this issue.

Users of Tripwire are advised to upgrade to this erratum package which
contains a backported security patch to correct this issue. The
erratum package also contains some minor bug fixes.
